About the HSPE

What is it?

The High School Proficiency Exam (HSPE) is an annual test used to measure a student's mastery of the state's grade-level academic standards contained in the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs).

Which Grades and Subjects?

Students in grades 10 are assessed in math, reading, science and writing.

How is it Scored?

A student's performance on the reading, math and science HSPE is reported using scale scores. Scale scores are three-digit numbers that are used to place the student into one of four levels: Advanced (Level 4), Proficient (Level 3), Basic (Level 2) and Below Basic (Level 1). The goal is for all students to meet or exceed standards (at or above Level 3).
